Is Private Equity - Continuing to weather the storm

During a turbulent year for the Turkish financial markets and economy, the 1.2% increase in NAV per share reported by Is Private Equity (ISGSY), supported by good growth in real terms by investee companies, is a very positive outcome. With some calm returning to Turkish markets, a further moderation in inflation and interest rates would be positive and a pick-up in M&A activity may provide opportunities for the capital recycling that ISGSY targets.

Is Private Equity - Valuation yet to reflect improving conditions

The overall valuation of Is Private Equityâ€™s (ISGSY) private equity investments remained resilient in 2017, with gross asset exposure to these investments increasing (and liquid assets reduced) as ISGSY invested further, for larger stakes in existing assets. With economic recovery taking hold, investee companies saw total revenue growth of c 35% in 2017, and the increased investment may prove to be well timed, especially if inflation and interest rates decline as the Central Bank expects. A pick-up in M&A activity may also provide additional opportunity for capital recycling from mature asse...

Weathering a storm

Is Private Equity (ISGSY) makes direct private equity investments in mid-sized Turkish companies with the aim of providing capital gains and attractive dividends. 2016 was a year of considerable uncertainty in Turkey, creating challenging market conditions for ISGSY’s investee companies and for the wider Turkish economy. Despite this, valuations have remained resilient, with a like-for-like fall of 2.5% versus a reduction of c 4% in 2015, which was arguably a less turbulent year. Including a further TRY10m investment in one of its leisure businesses, PE investments comprised 54% of total asset...

S&U - PBT ahead, encouraging volume trends

S&U reported FY24 PBT of £33.6m, down from £41.4m in FY23 on higher funding and regulatory costs and higher impairments in Advantage in H2. PBT was 2% ahead of our forecast as stronger revenues – up 12% to £115.4m – and better costs offset higher-than-expected impairments. Net receivables grew to a record at both Advantage and Aspen and management noted particular strength in Q4 and a good trading environment in the current year. Having absorbed a significant rise in funding cost as well as additional regulatory cost, the company looks well positioned to deliver steady growth from here on, esp...

Ceres Power Holdings - Strategic partnerships powering growth

Ceres Power Holdings’ innovative technology uses electrolysis to produce green hydrogen and solid oxide fuel cells to generate power. In a year where it moved to the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange, it recorded revenue growth of 13% and gross margin expansion to 61% (the highest in the sector, according to management), but is yet to record an operating profit (FY23 operating loss of £59.4m versus £54.0m in FY22). Ceres continued its strategy to drive innovation and technology across solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and hydrogen electrolysers (SOEC), increasing its R&D spending by 11% y-o...

Zalaris - Commencement of strategic review

Zalaris announced a strategic review process on 2 April, as the company explores potential opportunities to accelerate growth and maximise value for both customers and shareholders. The potential of a sale and delisting reflects the sentiment from many other listed technology businesses that have recently gone private, finding public markets a restraint to investment in growth. There is no certainty that an initiative, event or transaction will take place. Zalaris’s Q124 results are scheduled for 7 May.
